Thank you to everyone who came out to the 2015 Career Conference, as well as to UVa Global Studies, the Batten School, and UCS for all the work they put on for this co-sponsored event. It was a great success with an amazing panel, a packed networking lunch, and more than eighty different interviews conducted!

Thank you to all who have applied for the UVa MHIRT Program which provides outstanding students with the opportunity to participate in an intensive, international, mentored research experience that extends the analysis of global rural health disparities using an interdisciplinary approach.

News & Announcements

NAFSA: Association of International Educators is recognizing U.Va. and four other schools for their demonstrated commitment to global learning for their students and scholars. UVA won this award in part due to initatives set out in its Cornerstone Plan, which include the creation of the Center for Global Inquiry and Innovation in 2013, the unveiling of the Global Studies major last fall, the creation of the Global Internships program last summer, and the grand opening of a UVA China office set for March.

An interdisciplinary team of UVa faculty visited Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in February to advance collaborative opportunities for both universities. MUST, along with other international partners s a site in the new Minority Health & Health Disparities International Research Training (MHIRT) program which is a national, competitive opportunity for outstanding students to participate in intensive, mentored research analysis of global rural health disparities.
